Pepp Dolores - Cincinnati

The entire experience was 5 star! Got a call day of to confirm our reservation which was a nice touch. The hostess and manager greeted us with smiles and made us feel welcome immediately. We were seated within a minute of arriving in a corner table by the window. Highly appreciated the candles on the tables, lighting was dim but not too dark and the background music was the right level so we were able to talk without yelling. Our server, Patrick was awesome! He was laid back but super informative and answered all of our questions throughout the evening. Our food was nothing short of amazing. We took recommendations on how many items to order with the intent to have some leftover to take home. We had the ricotta w toast, carpaccio app, split the wedge salad, veal meatballs, and two pasta dishes- the Limone and the Gricia. Outstanding. This was by far the best dining experience at a new restaurant we have had in a long time. Highly recommend- we will be going back!

A return dining experience had me ordering favorites—the dunk, artichokes, and carpaccio. Also had the beans and greens which were excellent. The greens cooked to my taste. Shared the first two items and brought home some of the last. But the carpaccio was not to share : Also started with Tony's Negroni and had a glass of the Barbera Blend. My husband enjoyed the shared items, as well as a wedge salad and Pesto Pasta, accompanied by a new for him white Italian. Started with a G : We left well satisfied. Candace was an excellent server—attentive but not intrusive. Very pleasant.

We very much enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend. We had the homemade bread with ricotta delicious! ,followed by one of the best artichoke appetizers we can remember not breaded! For our main course we selected 2 of the homemade pasta dishes. One was better than the next. We ended the evening with their special lemoncello excellent.

Sunday had dinner. Music way too loud. Service was outstanding especially our server Brian. Good portions smaller than they were pre Covid. Dunk bread dipping sauce different than I remembered. I liked the original better. Ricotta not as creamy as I remember. First time I ordered Wedge it was ok. Limone pasta was ok. My husband enjoyed the Swiss Chard and sausage and my son liked his Sunday sauce and his girlfriend liked her vodka pasta

Alway delicious! Just the right amount of food! Jasmine took great care of us!
